Beyond the Law, You're the Vigilante Hero

5 Vigilante

Vigilantes, or street crusaders, work in a world of mortal men where crime is a huge problem. Anti-heroes that work outside formal law also fall into this category. Vigilantes have had intense training to make them capable in dealing with common criminials or violent mob bosses. They are less concerned with cosmic problems and more with punishing criminals or bringing them to the police for sentencing. Sometimes their powers can come from an accident which allowed them to dip themselves into the underworld and weed out its most nasty criminals.

The Good: You get your jollies from laying the beatdown on thugs and gangsters, which in all reality need a beating. The local city is safer with you around, no question about it. You can think on your feet, especially if a criminial pulls a knife on you or wants to get his gang to jump you all at once.

The Bad: People have a hard time distinguishing you from other thugs and criminals, so you don't get recognition. Especially if you just started your career. Your powers are good but nothing monumental. You are trained and limited to fighting gangsters. Pray that the cosmic villain Darkseid never makes a visit to your city. You wouldn't stand a chance.
